UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 20-50168
Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 3:19-mj-23205-FAG-BTM-1 v.
OLIVER BIBIANO-MAYO, MEMORANDUM*
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Barry Ted Moskowitz, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 11, 2022**
Before: McKEOWN, CHRISTEN, and BRESS, Circuit Judges.
Oliver Bibiano-Mayo appeals from the district court’s order affirming his
guilty-plea conviction for attempted illegal entry, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1325
Bibiano-Mayo contends that his conviction must be vacated because
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). § 1325(a)(1) violates the non-delegation doctrine and because the district court did
not advise him at the plea hearing that knowledge of alienage is an element of the
offense. As he concedes, both of these claims are foreclosed. See United States v.
Melgar-Diaz, 2 F.4th 1263, 1266-69 (9th Cir. 2021) (holding that § 1325(a)(1)
does not violate the non-delegation doctrine), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 813 (2022);
United States v. Rizo-Rizo, 16 F.4th 1292 (9th Cir. 2021) (knowledge of alienage is
not an element of a § 1325(a)(1) offense).
AFFIRMED.
